Okay, and that differs from what I quoted and commented on, how? I am responding to his saying they will hit the ground running when the convention is over. My clear point is that it is far too late to be just hitting the ground running with an election campaign when their November 30 convention is over, whether elections are held in May or not. If a convention is needed for a clear campaign path, then it ought to be held far earlier than November.
So, it is just a coincidence that Nygard hired the man who had just served as Minister of Lands, to work out getting him some Crown Land? HA! No wonder Sidney said no to filing a lawsuit, which is highly irregular for an attorney to do. His client was not instructing him to anything illegal or unethical by filing the suit, but he knew that as the immediate former Minister of Lands, it would cause everyone to then know he was hired by Nygard for a public land matter and we all know how he would have wound up looking.
Someone asked where are the young people. Those who know that party know that it is tuned to destroy its best and brightest. The others simply get in where they fit in as quickly as possible and hope that enough kissing up and kissing down can get them somewhere in time. Sad state of affairs and I dont imagine it being any different in the PLP.
> “Once that convention is over, we are going to hit the ground running
Can somebody say moron? You don't know when the election will be called, it does not have to be called as far out as May but can be called at any time. Even if it were going to be called in May, you only plan to hit the ground running in January of 2017 (since December is not a heavy campaign month and your convention wont be until November 30). These people are sick. How else can you describe a main Opposition Party functioning this way in light of the kind of government we have? FNMs are not primarily concerned with winning elections, their primary concern is with getting the little positions they want within their party regardless of where and how the party stands nationally. Sick.
Political parties in free societies are not supposed to be run like dynasties. There is not supposed to be one handpicked successor that the leader decides should be the only person to lead after him or her. A mature, functioning party in an emerging democracy should be able to generate numerous men and women who are competent enough to take up the mantle. Choosing a single successor is exactly the problem that other Parliamentary democracies around the world are having - the leader picks family, friend, etc to succeed him and the Party marches to that tune while the nation suffers.
